Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has undoubtedly left a remarkable impact since he transferred from Sporting Lisbon to Old Trafford in January 2020 for a hefty £68m. His latest contract extension until 2027, with the option for an additional year, solidifies his commitment to the club. With 234 appearances, 79 goals, and 67 assists across various competitions, his contribution has been nothing short of exceptional.
Under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, Fernandes has clinched both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, showcasing his prowess as a key player for the team. Additionally, reaching the Europa League final in 2021 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer emphasized his versatility and impact across different managerial eras.
The recent acquisition of Bayern Munich defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui further emphasizes the appeal and ambition of Manchester United under the leadership of Ten Hag. Fernandes’ decision to stay at the club amid speculation about a potential departure demonstrates his dedication and belief in the team’s future.
As Fernandes looks ahead to his continued tenure with Manchester United, the prospect of witnessing his “best moments” yet is indeed an exciting prospect for both the player and the club. With three Man Utd Player of the Year awards to his name, his influence and leadership as the team captain further cement his pivotal role within the squad. With the Premier League opener on the horizon, the anticipation surrounding Fernandes and his fellow teammates is palpable.
After signing his new deal, he said: “Everybody knows the passion I have for Manchester United. I understand the responsibility and significance of wearing this shirt, and the levels of dedication and desire required to represent this incredible club.
“I have had so many special moments here already; hearing my name sung from the Stretford End, scoring a hat-trick against Leeds, leading the team out at Old Trafford on European nights and lifting trophies at Wembley. But I wouldn’t have signed this contract if I didn’t believe that my best moments in a United shirt are still to come.
“From my discussions with the football leadership and manager, it is clear how determined everyone is to fight for major trophies in the years ahead. I can see how positive the future is going to be and I am relishing leading this team forward.”
The extension of Bruno Fernandes’ contract undoubtedly serves as a significant boost for Manchester United and reflects the club’s commitment to securing top talent for the long term.
